FBI agents and a Justice Department official interviewed President Clinton under oath for four hours yesterday in their probe into alleged finance abuses in the 1996 presidential campaign, the White House said.

The White House disclosed the interviews in a brief statement late yesterday that said Clinton and Gore “cooperated fully” with the Justice Dept.’s Campaign Financing Task Force.

Aides said Clinton and Gore are not targets of the investigation.

Still, the continuing investigation is likely to prove an embarrassment to Gore during the fall campaign.

Asked about the possible political fallout of his interview and the probe, Gore said yesterday, “I have no feelings about it.”

He refused to discuss his testimony.

Clinton was represented by two of his private lawyers, David Kendall and Nicole Seligman, as well as by White House Counsel Beth Nolan during the questioning in the Treaty Room, on the second floor of the president’s private residence.

Kendall and Seligman played key roles for Clinton during the 1997 Sexgate scandal and his 1998 impeachment.

Gore was questioned for four hours Tuesday in the dining room of his vice-presidential residence by Robert Conrad, the task force chief.

Gore campaign spokesman Chris Lehane said it was Gore’s fifth interview with the probers. Clinton has been questioned twice before, in November 1997 and November 1998.

This week’s interviews were believed to be follow-ups to the task force’s questioning of contributors to the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign.

Last month the task force won the conviction of Mary Hsia – a long-time Gore supporter who arranged the vice president’s 1996 visit to a Buddhist temple fund-raising event – on charges of hiding $109,000 in illegal contributions.
